🚩 Cons
Supplier: Current model is through drop shipping. I’d recommend moving to a 3PL to help with scale and be assured you have a reliable supplier.
🚀 Growth Opportunities
Meta Ads: Majority of the paid efforts are currently on Google with very limited efforts being pushed to Meta. New owner should allocate more spend towards building a strategy around creatives and landing pages for consumers on Meta.
Content: Send products to micro influencers to create more content for your brand and find out what type of content resonates most with your audience. Double down on this and start running paid ads to your landing pages.
